I've let a new place managed by Shaws Kensington. I totally recommend this agency! I've dealt firstly with Romina and then with broader Shaws Kensington team and my experience was great. Such a professional and reliable approach as well as very polite manners.
Thank you Alessandro. We’re very happy you’re pleased with our team! And thanks for taking the time to comment.

Good experience so far. I was very pleased with the service we recieved from Shaws, particularly William. He was very helpful in explaining each step of the process and he was willing to show the flat to us in two occasions.

Shaws have just sold my flat in W14 in what is a difficult and uncertain time in the property market. I must say they worked extremely hard. What I liked was they always kept me in touch and updated as necessary. They give a very professional service and I can recommend them. MD
Thank you so much Michael! It was a pleasure working with you.

The whole experience with Shaw’s in securing a flat was 5-star. From finding our favourite flat online to viewing it to getting the good news on our new home, it was only a matter of three days. I would like to highlight the incredible professionalism of Rob, who not only was such a gentlemen, personable and informative while showing me the flat, but also so understanding and reassuring during the offer process. House hunting can be so stressful and he managed to make it an enjoyable and comforting experience. Looking forward to settling into our new home! Thank you! - Mariana & Kajol

William Sproston and Shaws Kensington provided excellent assistance from initial inquiry to getting our offer across the finish line. We very much enjoyed working with William and appreciated his consideration of our needs and circumstances for an international relocation. We are very excited about our new residence and grateful for William's good communication and recommendations.
Thank you Tristan.

Daniel and the property management team provided a great experience despite an awful landlord, and just added to the positive image of Shaw's after a great experience we had with them during the initial stages of hunting for a flat in Barons Court. Their fair advice and patience has been very much appreciated!
That’s great to hear Daniel. Thanks for taking the trouble to write that. All the best, John Read (Owner, Shaws Kensington)

Olivia and Lisa are by far the most efficient, friendly and easy to work with estate agents I've ever come across. They provide great advice, aren't pushy and obviously have great relationships with both landlords and their tenants. Thank you for all your help and securing us a great house!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review for us. We also really appreciate having Lisa and Olivia with our team. It’s lovely when our clients show their appreciation. So glad you were pleased! Best wishes John Read CEO Shaws Kensington

We were incredibly lucky to work with Shaws Kensington’s Axel, as he found us a great apartment! The rest of the team helped with our paperwork and we are now loving our apartment. :) thanks!
Thanks Riley! We are delighted you were happy with everything and we will pass on your kind words to Axel and the team!

Have always experienced fast and professional service from Shaws. They deal with my rental property and I can not fault any of the staff there. Messages are followed up and they keep you in the loop for everything. Thank you Shaws - I really do appreciate everything you do.
Really appreciate those comments Greg. The team are glad to be of service! John (CEO)

An excellent experience as a tenant renting with Shaws! The property management team is brilliant- Kacendra and Elodie have both been so kind and responsive to all my questions.
Thanks you for taking the time Bianca. I will make sure Kacendra and Elodie see your kind words.

Thanks to Shaws Kensington team and particularly to Axel who has been very efficient every step of the way from flat selection to closure. His remarkable problem solving skills facilitated the whole process.
Thank you Franck!

They are absolutely terrible letting agents from a tenant's point of view. They don't respond to email, claim to have carried out repairs when none have happened -- and take ages just to do that. The only way to make progress is to go in in person and ask. Avoid them.
Hi Chris sorry this response is so late but we have only just been notified of it. Please contact us again if you're still looking and we will put things right. Best wishes John

I rented a property through Shaws Kensington and staff were very supportive and professional. Especially Jana, who was extremely kind and attentive.

Shaws Kensington is by far the best agency to contact if you are looking to rent around Barons Court. They specialise in the area, so they have a better idea than most about what it can offer. The agent I was in touch with, Jack, was always very responsive, professional and helpful, as well as upfront and honest, which in my experience are rare qualities in an agent. He somehow managed to make the otherwise stressful experience of moving seem pleasant; many thanks for the help!
5/5
I’ve let my property through Shaws for years. They are always friendly and positive, as well as thorough and fair (give or take a few times when I’ve had to push). They have always found good, suitable tenants for my property and this time they worked very hard indeed to find a tenant quickly. Shaws don’t manage the property for me, they just find the tenants and collect the rent, but they are generous with advice and help just the same. Their knowledge of the area is second to none and you can trust their advice.

We used Shaws as our letting agents for …
We used Shaws as our letting agents for over 5 years. I think that they are better than most letting agents, but their screening of potential tenants did not always prove to be optimal. On 2 occasions we had difficult tenants who caused significant damage to our property. We found these situations tricky to resolve amicably and Shaws did not seem to act in our best interest. There are also several employees at the Shaws Kensington office that deal with different aspects of the letting process and it was difficult to know who to deal with when specific issues arose. Shaws were, however, very good at keeping us informed of maintenance and repairs that were necessary.

The most appalling estate agents ever
The most appalling estate agents I have ever dealt with In relation to management of flats for their landlords they have no regard for others.They refused to believe that THEIR tenants had caused water damage to the flat below and had the audacity to ask for evidence!Most disreputable and dishonest.Furthermore as an agent they have the nasty habit of charging 15per cent commission on any repairs or maintainance WITHOUT making this transparent.In short a rather grubby outfit owned and run by someone with different morals and run in a dishonest and disengeuous manner....a West Kensington estate agency to be avoided at all costs.

Did a very poor job managing my rental property. Check in and check out reports and inventory lists were inaccurate.Rent was late and unless I chased Shaw’s no one noticed or cared!
